We are Plastic Shed, a Community Benefit Society based in Stockport.
We unite people around the issue of plastic pollution. We do this by providing lots of different ways for people to get involved with reusing plastic waste locally, from workshops, recycled products to large scale community co created murals.
As we work with people in the community to turn our plastic waste into new useful things, our approach simultaneously helps to strengthen community cohesion, empower people to take action and support individuals' health and wellbeing as they get creative with the materials and contribute to a meaningful project.
So far we've connected with over 100,000 people - what a journey!
Join us today, EVERYONE WELCOME!
